Phillip's birthday 1.24.2015

Phillip wanted a low key birthday this year.

 

So Ryan and I planned a dinner at Urban Crust on the Friday night (night before bday), got him a radio for the truck and had bundt cakes all weekend.

 

My three hams at dinner.

Lillian listening to the birthday card over and over again.

 

Who needs a radio when you can play in the box that it came in.

 

The day after Phillip's birthday, we had lunch after church with Mema and GiGi.

 

Walking the halls. Funny when Lilly is faster than the great-grands. :)

 

 

Mema and her pictures posted to "her wall." (Facebook reference.) 1.25.2015

 



Emily Lynn Hodges 1.5.2015

Emily, aka EmiLou, was born on January 5, 2015. She was 8lb 3oz and 20 in long. She is perfect.

 

This was from a play date when she was weeks old.

 

 

Holding her Wub-a-nub. Let's hope Jillian doesn't eat this one. She has chewed up Lillian's when she stayed over.

 

Lillian looking at her cousin (notice she has HER wub-a-nub and probably thinking "how come she has my pacy?")

 

Big cousin Ryan and Emily

 

Here you go....................

 

Sweet kisses



Typical Ryan 12.25.2014

 

This makes me smile so big. Ryan is such a happy, fun, loving, silly, amazing girl.

 

This though is not out of character. She and Phillip playing around.

 



Playing catch up........ from 2014

 

I have not been blogging and need to share lots of pictures, even from 2014.

 

Ryan was chosen out of the whole kinder to receive the TOP WHALE DONE Award. There was one boy and one girl from each grade level. I was super excited and got to go to the presentation/assembly.

 

Pictured with Ms Ayala and me. 

 

 

Lillian comes home with some really cute artwork. I thought this was super sweet. It's a snowman made from her footprint. :)

 

 

Lillian's favorite thing to do is get all of the koozies out of the drawer and use them as gloves. This was Dec 8th.

 

Lillian also got new shows Dec 6th. She had never worn them before and was not sure about them at first.

 

She got used to them and looks so cute in them....if she will just keep them on her feet.

 

Playing at the park with big sister.

 

Loves to swing........

 

Ryan has mastered the monkey bars. She loves to show me how she can get all the way across. This was the first time she had made it without falling. This was Dec 8 2014.

 

And this one loves to swing as well. They must be my girls. :)

 

Getting to play dress up at PArty City.

 

Ryan lost her first tooth at the beginning of December. She was SO excited. She had already had her perm tooth coming in behind it. She didn't look like a typical "snaggletooth." Which she asked, "What is a snaggletooth?" She thought it was not a good thing as all the kids at school called her that. :)

 

Annual MOPs Moms Night Out. We didn't wear ugly sweaters this year so I got us matching (annoying jingling) hats.

 

Sisters...... 12.14.2014
